I made a thread recently where I showed how to apply anti-aliasing in any game running through WINE. Now I'm here to show how to force anisotropic filtering in games, however I think it only works on AMD GPUs. If you know the way to do it on Intel or Nvidia please share. Anyway, it's as simple as adding a single environment variable: RADV_TEX_ANISO=16
If you're new to this you just need to add this as a launch option on steam: RADV_TEX_ANISO=16 %command%
Or if you're using Lutris it's done in the game's system tab, where you can find the environment variable table.
If you're using anything else you basically just have to add RADV_TEX_ANISO=16 before running the command that starts the game.
yeah thanks, i know, i can read the fucking manual
you can, but most homosexuals here can not
Oh and I forgot to link the source like the dummy I am

I'm getting burned out trying to play games under Linux, I've been using it fulltime since 2012 and long ago deleted my Windows partition, but every now and then I'll get the urge to play a game to pass the time and its just a fucking headache to grind out proton or wine configurations when it doesn't just automatically work. Right now most of my games just launch and instantly close with zero error messages, no interest in diagnosing this problem.
Screenshot this (You) with neofetch immediately or kys
Going to go into hyperventilation now since someone finds it too annoying to bash their head against a black box that provides zero debugging errors?
PROTON_LOG=1
NTA, where do I put this?
also how do I show logs for linux native games?
>Where do I put this
Launch parameters for the game, the same place you'd put shit like -skipintro
>Native games
Run steam in your terminal
>NTA, where do I put this?
In the game's launch options followed by %command%.
Then look for a log file in your home directory after running the game.
RTFM: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton#runtime-config-options
>also how do I show logs for linux native games?
Sometimes I put this in the launch options:
%command% > /home/myusername/stdout.log 2> /home/myusername/stderr.log
(where "myusername" is replaced with my actual username of course; I don't remember if ~ expansion works in launch options)
>Then look for a log file in your home directory after running the game.
or just start steam from a terminal and watch the log live
No. I just figured you were LARPing because
>grind out proton or wine configurations
sounds like something that a Windows shill would say.
If a game doesn't just work then I look it up on ProtonDB and copy whatever launch options or Protontricks commands someone else did. The few times in my experience that it wasn't that easy, it was some indie game that wasn't even worth the effort of rebooting to my Windows partition, or it was a game I already 100%'d while I was still on Windows 7 (specifically I'm thinking of L.A. Noire and I haven't bothered to check if it's easily playable now).
If all of the games you like are really that difficult to play, then maybe Linux is a bad choice for you. There are obviously games that just don't work on Linux (e.g. the ones that actively block Linux users on purpose but also dumb shit like third-party launchers being exceptionally good at not working with Proton), and if you want those games to work without tinkering then use the OS they support.
For what it's worth, though, if most of your games
>instantly close with zero error messages
then it sounds like something is wrong with your system or your Steam settings. Moreover, it sounds like you need to get good. See
for starters. I'm not saying the Proton log will help, but the fact that you didn't even think of checking it (or some other form of logging) is not good. Saying "it just does nothing when I run it" is a huge red flag in general, and even if people want to help you after that, they can't because you gave them no information. When a program fails to run, there will be something in the stderr stream at the very least. If you can't figure out how to capture that, get good. Or use Windows.

That's not zero error messages though. You could have just said you don't understand the error messages. Is this supposed to be "winning"? Proving that you lied?
That is because I chose to run it through Lutris like a sane person, Steam provides absolutely zero logging. Want to play Europa Universalis 3? iT jUsT wErKs, except that it doesn't, even shitty games from the late 2000s fail often.

Every Windows-exclusive game that runs on Linux is a gift. Being mad when they don't work is autistic. As I wrote before, if you want to play lots of games that require lots of tinkering but don't want to do the tinkering, stop trying to play them on Linux. I don't even mean this in a "Linux sucks for gaming" kind of way. I'm just being practical. If you are motivated to use Linux then you can figure these things out. Otherwise what are you doing? Windows exists.

Please understand, he needs to run Proton outside of Steam to get logging because he still hasn't found this post:
Well that's someone using Linux fulltime from 2012 for you, you just don't get how smart it is.
>Please understand, he needs to run Proton outside of Steam to get logging because he still hasn't found this post:
You have to enable logging because the very idea of sensible defaults is foreign to Linux users. Amazing
Logging is for debugging purposes. You don't want it constantly writing to the disk while your game is running.
>Logging is for debugging purposes. You don't want it constantly writing to the disk while your game is running.
Right because Linux doesn't write shit nonstop using journald or access logs when running a web server. Text is just too complex for a video game under Linux.
Proton logs hit several hundred MB after just a few minutes thoughbeit.
The problem isn't usually the writing itself (unless there's some incredible log spam) but the probes you need to get that information
I'm sorry to say you have no idea what you're talking about, debugging isn't something you have running all the time for software because it has a performance penalty.

I had that problem too when I was trying to launch games that I installed on a Windows partition while using Windows.
The games usually worked when I installed them on the disk while on Linux though and I never had any issues ever since I just said "fuck it" and formated the drive to ext4
I was thinking about this the other day
Has anyone made a GUI program to set these options easily, like the windows AMD driver control panel?
I haven't seen one. Not like there's a lot of graphics settings in the driver anyway, I think the AF setting is pretty much the only one. For hardware settings you have CoreCtrl as the control panel.
Well, there's adriconf

Nice pepper.
Does steam not allow you to add library folders for anyone else? The select folder menu just doesn't work for me.
What type of anti aliasing though? If it's just FXAA then why bother
MSAA
>MSAA
Surely that would only work on DX9 games?
It worked on a DX8 game for me, if you mean newer than DX9 I'm not sure, I play mostly older games
What kind of process will be applied if the application is a DX12 deferred rendering? Do you know that MSAA can be applied for opaque textures?
I just tried it in a DX12 game, Path of Exile, and I don't think it does anything. However newer games tend to have their own AA built in so it's not a big loss. Old games don't always have AA and this is how you can force it for them.
Fair enough. It works okay for Dragons Dogma.

I've been in enough Linux threads to know that's not the case. People get help all the time, when they actually ask for it in a way that makes helping possible, instead of just screeching that Linux sucks while completely failing at providing enough information to be helped.
See

>most of my games just launch and instantly close with zero error messages
Nobody can do anything with this. Moreover, why should anyone help someone who can't even be bothered to capture the errors to a log? The end of the post is the real kicker:
>no interest in diagnosing this problem
This basically means "don't try to help me".
It would have ended there if I hadn't made fun of him for not being able to produce logs (which he still didn't know how to do in Steam even after someone posted the environment variable that enables it).
>This basically means "don't try to help me".
Except that you couldn't help him, you guys gave up exactly like he predicted. The errors are too vague and incomprehensible. No wonder he has no interest in debugging that shit.
give me ssh access and i'll fix the problem in 5 minutes
don't worry, i won't torrent any dolphin porn on your connection
>you guys gave up exactly like he predicted
1. Where exactly did he predict that? When he later posted his logs — from Lutris, while claiming that Steam provides no logging despite having just been told how to get Steam to provide logging — he just complained again about how HE didn't want to debug it. He never said anyone else would give up.
2. I never gave up. Giving up would imply that I attempted to decipher the logs in the first place. In fact I never claimed to be able to help him myself, and even explicitly told him beforehand that I couldn't guarantee logs would help at all, because the number of people who (a) understand the logs, (b) have the time to help, (c) have the desire to help, and (d) are currently online at this moment is sometimes zero. I was simply making the point that NOT posting logs guaranteed no help. There were no broken promises.
>The errors are too vague and incomprehensible
They're not vague at all. They're quite specific. "Incomprehensible" (to you) and "vague" are not synonyms.
Worth adding to this anon's point: It's the same with coding.
So, so SO many people don't want to take any time to learn the basics. Worse than that, they won't even want to take the time to at least try to format their questions precisely, concisely, or accurately, yet they want people to invest huge amounts of their time to just give them some perfect fix out of the box or to just code *for* them.
Meanwhile, just format your question to the best of your ability, try to make sure you thought about it beforehand a bit and respect people's time and efforts, and you'll almost always find people willing to HELP you troubleshoot or fill a gap in your knowledge.
It's just that people get more jaded and frustrated with apparent laziness and time-wasting and then stop responding, likewise also not thinking as much from a potentially earnest but just uninformed perspective since it's so often unfruitful and annoying.
>So, so SO many people don't want to take any time to learn the basics.
Because people don't like to have their time wasted. Do you really think anyone really gives a fuck about what a Kernel is when all they want to do is load a game?
This is a big problem with Linux fags, the assumption that everyone has to "learn".
I don't give a fuck about your OS, activism or fanboying homosexualry. I just want to play my game.
>instead of just screeching that Linux sucks
actually that is an effective strat to get help.
Many times i have gotten answers out of the most stubborn RTFM linux poser. Just by saying that "Windows does not have this problem". Comparing Linux to Windows is a personal affront to Linux fanboys, they will give you the answer just to spite Microsoft and Windows. Linux fags have low self esteem when it comes to OS's. They constantly have something to prove. So you exploit that to get the answers you need.

Anisotropic filtering isn't AA, fake gamer and/or zoomer, and he's obviously talking about forcing it in games that don't have it in the menu.

So yes, AA. Not that it matters, it's still just one click in the options for AF too.
>forcing it in games that don't have it in the menu
Yeah alright, then it's like 3 clicks to get to the option in the Nvidia control panel.
Jamal, return the phone or computer you stole to post this

So use that. I don't care. Did someone put a gun to your head and say "install Gentoo"? I didn't.
Putting one environment variable into the game's launch options isn't hard work either, by the way, though it is nice that OP is volunteering to RTFM for us.

Pretty well as a matter of fact.
>It implements just enough for getting HDR games working. But beyond the KWin patches, you also need to be using the VK_hdr_layer frog-protocol code paired with a Git build of Valve's Gamescope compositor. HDR also needs to be enabled for your capable monitor and then with the appropriate Gamescope compositor launch commands it's possible to get various HDR-enabled games working
>some HDR equipped titles like Doom Eternal rely on monitor EDID parsing for correct HDR handling and that portion isn't yet implemented
So, in typical Linux fashion, it's a broken mess?
No mention of HDR video playback either.
You can use gamescope for video playback

So I asked around for what linux to play video games on and people suggested linux mint.
But recently I found out nobara is "the gaming linux".
Whats the difference between them and why recommend mint over nobara?
nobara more like noobara heh but seriously mint is okay for gaming but nobara is more up to date and comes with a special kernel and shieet
>why mint
More established than Nobara
>why not mint
Doesn't come with KDE, the premier desktop for Linux gaming
>why not nobara
It's just one guy maintaining it and a fairly new distro
>Doesn't come with KDE, the premier desktop for Linux gaming
You can put any desktop on any OS. The performance differences are neglible unless you are on a potato. KDE looks like windows. gnome has better support in my experience
gnome is killing xorg, and gnome wayland still doesn't have VRR, or didn't last I checked. I'd say first impressions matter and people should try to use something that won't cause much friction, they can install other stuff later. though mint's cinnamon resembles windows anyway
>Whats the difference between them and why recommend mint over nobara?
All OS's are based on three choices: fedora, arch, and debian. Mint is based on debian and nobara is based on fedora. The differences are the package managers. Debian OS's use apt, arch OS's use pacman. Forgot what fedora uses. I only ever used debian and arch, arch is way better but can be complicated to install.
Different base, nobara is based on fedora and has newer packages, but because it moves faster and it's mostly a single guy working on it (the same guy who makes GE proton) the combination of those two could possibly make it more likely for some issues to crop up
Should have mentioned I have an Nvidia gpu and AMD cpu.
and how important is the special kernel?
>Doesn't come with KDE, the premier desktop for Linux gaming
How much of a difference does that make?
And what do you mean by "established"? More stable perhaps?
this doesn't tell me anything, yes I know they are based on different things like fedora arch or debian. But other than superficial shit like how the desktop looks I have no idea what performance of stability difference is.
I don't give a shit about how the desktop looks. I want stability and performance for gaming with some video editing on the side.
so nobara is more "bleeding edge" and mint is more stable?
nobara isn't fully bleeding edge (arch moves faster, for example) but it does have significantly newer packages than mint. The thing with nobara's base is that they push for new technologies faster, so they switched from pulseaudio to pipewire before most distros, for example, and they seem to want to get rid of xorg pronto and only leave wayland (which won't work well for you if you have an nvidia card because nvidia dragged their feet to start working on it, but apparently they've been improving their support recently)
>(arch moves faster, for example)
I know, but arch requires user fiddling. and I'm just making a switch to linux and am in NO WAY ready to go full autism path of arch and fiddle with every little thing myself.
I'm at the give me "just works" and graphical interfaces.
>but it does have significantly newer packages than mint.
How much are we talking here? A month? Half a year? Year?
>so they switched from pulseaudio to pipewire before most distros, for example, and they seem to want to get rid of xorg pronto
I literally have no idea what this means.
"pulse audio pipewire xorg" mean nothing to me at this point.
>only leave wayland (which won't work well for you if you have an nvidia card
Cool, I guess that answers my question.
I'l stay on track to try mint and leave nobura for later when they iron out nvidia shit in a couple of years maybe.
>I know, but arch requires user fiddling.
It's a one time thing, only at the installation. I can install arch and then give the computer to my grandmother, and then she can use the GUI the rest of its life like normal
>It's a one time thing, only at the installation. I can install arch and then give the computer to my grandmother,
Same can be said about any OS. That once it's setup it's "stable" and doesn't need fiddling.
But I really don't want to fiddle with terminals and commands and waste hours, days figuring out how fucking linux and arch works just to set a desktop and get games working on it.
Thats fair but you wrote more in this thread than you would have written in the terminal. And all you do to install is copy exactly from the arch wiki
>Thats fair but you wrote more in this thread than you would have written in the terminal.
Me writing here is a skill that doesn't require any effort or thinking. Additionally the consequences of fucking up are non existent.
>And all you do to install is copy exactly from the arch wiki

Mint is based on ubuntu LTS releases which come every even year, so the current version is like ~18 months behind for stuff that isn't bug fixes, I think gpu drivers are an exception and shouldn't be that far behind.
I think fedora is usually like a few months behind upstream at most, though kernel and drivers would be pretty close to the upstream stable releases (specially on nobara)
>Mint is based on ubuntu LTS releases which come every even year,
So far as I know linuxfags love debian and arch.
>ubuntu LTS releases which come every even year, so the current version is like ~18 months behind for stuff that isn't bug fixes
What are these "things" it's behind on? Are they relevant shit like compatability, stability, performance, etc.
Or irrelevant things like "we made the render for the icons look more sleek"
> You're overthinking it
Hey, I told people
>gaming with nvidia gpu with best stability and performance, and windows like easy of use(not much terminal autism, mostly done through graphical interface)
And people still can't just tell me "oh yeah, for that use this linux"
The absolute closest to an answer I'v gotten is mint I guess. But then recently I ran into the nobara option that made me question.
new features mostly, those packages still get fixes backported
>this doesn't tell me anything, yes I know they are based on different things like fedora arch or debian. But other than superficial shit like how the desktop looks I have no idea what performance of stability difference is.

Go to random.org, type in every Linux distro you've ever heard of, and choose the first one. The differences are neglible (but I hope you roll Arch)
x is 40 year old tech not designed to work on modern hardware. It has no devs and will be deprecated soon
more of a reason for gnome to support shit people want to use, like vrr or color management
>Go to random.org, type in every Linux distro you've ever heard of, and choose the first one. The differences are neglible (but I hope you roll Arch)
So far as I'v researched the diferences are how the desktop looks, the lack of or inclusion of graphical interface and lastly how quickly things get updated vs how stable things are.
And no, arch as far as I know is good for people who want to fiddle and customize a lot manually.
I have no desire to do that and I especially don't give a shit about minor shit like how exactly a desktop looks like. As long as I have a easy time accessing files and programs I couldn't give a fuck if some text font is 1 pixel better or worse or if the icons are in the top left, bottom right, middle or circle.
>KDE has more contemporary features like VRR
Okay, now I'm interested. I have a freesync monitor, you telling the feature would work better on nobura than on mint? Mint does have freesync option, right? RIGHT?!
I have a single monitor. I do alt tab obviously.
>how the desktop looks, the lack of or inclusion of graphical interface and lastly how quickly things get updated vs how stable things are.
Desktop = graphical interface. Every OS can have any desktop it wants. You're overthinking it
>Mint does have freesync option, right? RIGHT?!
It does, but I've heard people have the best experience with KDE since full screen apps get it automatically.
>How much of a difference does that make?
KDE has more contemporary features like VRR, HDR support just around the corner, better multimonitor and alt tabbing support thanks to wayland (which isn't coming to Mint in years). The desktops that come with Mint are very basic.
>And what do you mean by "established"? More stable perhaps?
Reputation gained over years. It's still too early to say how Nobara will fare.
I love my steamdeck with how well everything is supported and runs on linux, but that filesystem is worse than windows. why can't every program just have 1 folder? why does it need to litter all sorts of different files across different partitions?
>but that filesystem is worse than windows. why can't every program just have 1 folder?
They can and they do sometimes. Windows does the same thing btw.
>why does it need to litter all sorts of different files across different partitions?
Does it matter though? They're all managed by a package manager which bring it all together
>Wanna use linux since I hate windows
>Most games don't seem to run on it
Should I still switch
dual boot seems to be the sane solution.
Where you use linux for most of the things you can. And win 7 for the rest of the games that don't function on linux
nearly every game i've played works fine, including new ones and i'm no Ganker contrarian who only plays whatever their autism allows, the only games that don't work in my experience are those with some form of non standard anticheat. I've genuinely stopped even considering whether or not they'll run on linux I just assume they'll work. I do however recommend you be at least a little tech savvy (read: able to google your problems) for when errors do occur.
